Summary: This is the best movie I've ever seen
Review: I watched this in my 9th grade class and loved it. Leonard Whitling is really bloody hot. He almost acts like Leonardo DiCaprio. All the others were fantastic. My favorite part is when Juliet's nurse went out to the streets and Romeo's friends tease her because nurse wore a long white dress hat. It was so funny. Nurse was angry with Tybalt and others. I wish I would watched this movie again.

Summary: UNFORGETTABLY SWEET!!
Review: I saw this movie in my English Class in 9th grade. My eyes were opened to not only Shakespear, but to the exquisite innocence and beauty of the cast, mainly that of Olivia Hussey. She played her part to perfection. Her bright eyes and infectious laugh just floored me. Whiting was also sweet and handsome. This version is THE version to own if you like Romeo and Juliet!

Summary: A must for Shakespeare lovers!
Review: Definitely the most beautiful and heart-breaking movie ever made of this famous pair of ill-fated teen lovers. I cannot imagine a more perfect Juliet or Romeo than the ones found in Hussey and Whiting. The film is virtually flawless-from the sumptuous, accurate sets, gorgeous costumes to the impeccable casting and excellent directing by Zefferelli. And ofcourse, the sensitive and sincere acting of the young leads and the other actors. This film adaption fluently conveys each theme-tragedy, romance, comedy-in a powerful yet delicate manner. The BEST in my book. A definite classic worth collecting!

Summary: THE BEST VISUAL INTERPRETATION OF ROMEO AND JULIET
Review: SHAKESPEARE, WOULD HAVE BEEN PROUD THAT THIS MASTERPIECE WAS VISUALLY SCULPTED WITH THE AUTHENTIC DIGNITY AND PURE INNOCENCE AND BEAUTY, THAT ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT COULD NOT COMPETE WITH SHAKESPEARE'S GENIUS VERBALITY.

Summary: Brilliant, moving, amazing, fabulous, breathtaking, etc etc.
Review: Hussey is the most beautiful woman on this earth, and Whiting is equally as handsome. That is all I have to say!

Summary: A beautiful master piece of a film. Zeffirelli is amazing.
Review: Romeo and Juliet is my all time favorite story. I thought that nothing could compare to Shakespeare's work, however I was proved wrong. I was in complete awe after seeing the 1968 version of R&J. The acting, directing, and costume design moved me to tears like no other movie has done before.

Summary: Zeffirelli and Shakespeare: A Perfect Match
Review: There is nothing worse than bad Shakespeare but not to worry here-- Franco Zeffirelli and Shakespeare come together here in a lavish, opulent production of ROMEO AND JULIET, just when we thought there was nothing fresh to say about them. Zeffirelli has broken new ground by casting Leonard Whiting, who is 17, and Olivia Hussey, who is all of 15 but looks even younger, in this timeless classic story about "star-crossed" lovers. With the possible exception of some parts of the musical score-- although much of it soars-- this film is as good today as it was when first released in 1968. (The musical theme was beautiful the first 50 times I heard it on the radio. Then it became trite.) There are no bad actors here. In addition to the two lovers, Michael York as Tybalt and Pat Heywood as the nurse give outstanding performances, just to name two. My only negative comment about the acting is that Romeo always seems to run to and from an event or meeting; he never walks. Perhaps that is what a seventeen-year-old, testosterone-laden lad does, however. On the other hand, Romeo and Juliet's tragic story is completely believable and will put chills on your spine. Additionally, the dance scenes and duel scenes are quite wonderful. The wardrobe department got everything right as well. A word about the language-- it goes without saying that Mr. Shakespeare is and ever shall be the greatest writer in English. Hearing his words again is a transcendent experience.

Summary: Excellent movie...Great actors
Review: Watching this as part of a highschool assignment, the teacher only allowed us to watch about 15 minutes of it. When I saw it playing on cable, I sat down to finish it. This, I must say, is the best version of Romeo and Juliet. In the '68 version The actors are young and even though it was made in '68, you can relate to them in this day. The acting is superb, no one better could have been picked for the parts. It was a real tearjerker. Not to mention the soundtrack...the songs were just amazing to hear. Just watch the movie once, you'll fall in love with it.
